The first ICPM conference will take place in Aachen (Germany) in the last week of June 2019. See http://icpmconference.org for some initial information. This marks an important step for the Task Force. Hence, input from its members is welcomed (timing of the conference in future years, industry involvement, bylaws, governance, etc.). The first call for papers that will be distributed shortly, also http://icpmconference.org will be updated as the organization progresses.
